Shedding Season and Creating with the Kids

Niva is in her shedding season. Am I slightly losing my mind? Maybe! Our couches always have a thin layer of fur, I feel like I can see it in the air, and I can pull clumps of it off of Niva’s body all day. Jimmy and I finally got out our favorite undercoat rakes (yes, we have two!) and went to town on Niva one night this week.

The result was that we had enough fur to stuff a pillow. Hopefully that was the last of the shedding for the season?! Speaking of Niva, she and I did a therapy visit together this week at the school for Deaf children that we regularly visit. We love it there so much! Kids + dogs = pure joy. (more…)

The Night Before Thanksgiving

It’s the night before Thanksgiving for all my American friends! What are you up to for the holiday? I want to hear all about it!

Tonight we are laying low because both kids are sick. Poor Mordecai came down with a funky cough and the doctor at urgent care diagnosed him with croup and gave him a steroid.

He has pretty much lost his voice, which is pitiful, but I’ll take it over spending the night at Children’s Hospital around Thanksgiving like we did last year. (more…)
